The next piece begins! Kumiko is now in her second year at Kitauji High School, and with a new year comes new problems. As if making it to Nationals wasn't hard enough, Kumiko is tasked with mentoring the concert band's troublesome first years – each with their own distinct personality and problems to solve. With Kumiko busy juggling both the concert band and her new role as senpai, how does her relationship with Shuuichi fit into the picture?
Direction
Ishihara's intimate close-ups make band practice feel like therapy.
Sound
The mix of polished performances and raw rehearsal audio is *chef's kiss*.
Writing
Kumiko's passive-aggressive mentorship style is painfully relatable.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This adapts the second novel, but shuffles events significantly — the anime-original Kumiko-Shuuichi tension was dialed way up for film format.
The 'bukatsu' senpai-kouhai dynamic is brutally accurate to Japanese school club culture; Kumiko's reluctant mentorship mirrors how many second-years actually feel.
